What a "Rove" would do to a McCain....

[HardWorkingDem]

Right now, it seems to me the most glaring omission of the Dems battle with McCain is the Rovian trick of turning a candidates strongest strength into that of the candidate's weakness. I think many will agree if someone had to pick out McCain's strongest, perceived favorable, it would be that of his "experience" (and his experience is a broad concept of military experience and foreign experience all wrapped up into one). I'm not saying this is true and his experience is worth a shit, but I think it is correct in pointing out that it is shown to be true in most polls. So with this, while it seems some Dems are working on this, it seems like they need to be doing more.

Dems need to be pointing out just what his "experience" has been, where it has got us and why it is really a non-plus attribute and then make the American people feel the same way. Many examples of his failed experience need to be out in front and I just don't see the Dems making them clear.

2. Think you are missing my point....

Lessons are learned everywhere and from all sorts of people. My point is I don't care who teaches lessons, but I do care that we learn from lessons. And I think if there is one thing Rove has showed again and again is that if you can turn a person's strength into a weakness, then a campaign can be that much easier to win.

Don't mistake my feelings for this man - he is a walking, talking piece of shit and one of the worst things to ever hit politics and government, but I find it foolish to ignore valuable lessons just because the messenger is an asshole.
